I am rising senior and I am planning to give CFA and CAIA this year. I will be completing few level this year and the remaining ones the next year. How likely am I to break into finance probably in small analyst positions in ER or portfolio management? Last summer i just goofed around and this summer I was not able to get intern so i ended up doing research in computations/statical part for a research. I really dont want to get stranded next year even though i will have passed some levels of CFA and CAIA? Do you guys thing doing CFA and CAIA or going to Grad School for mathematics is a good option at this current economic conditions?
